CORRESPONDENCE. 


D.  Tilden  Brown,  M.D. : 

Dear  Sir  :  At  the  Fourth  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  held  last  evening,  at  the 
residence  of  Prof.  Alonzo  Clark,  it  was  unanimously  voted  to  request 
a  copy  of  your  Address  for  publication. 

Its  preservation  in  a  more  permanent  form  will  enable  those  distant 
sons  of  our  Alma  Mater  to  participate,  to  some  degree,  in  the  gratifica- 
tion afforded  the  large  concourse  who  listened  to  its  delivery. 

Let  me  hope  that  you  will  comply  with  their  desire. 

I  am,  dear  Doctor,  very  truly  yours,  etc.,

Flushing,  near  New-Youk,  )  Secretary.

Joseph  H.  Vedder,  M.D,  Sec'y,  Etc. : 

Dear  Sir  :  In  complying  with  the  nattering  request  of  the  Associa- 
tion, expressed  in  such  complimentary  terms  in  your  note  of  to-day,  it 
seems  proper  to  ask  that  the  tone  of  pleasantry  running  through  the 
Address  may  be  ascribed  to  the  license  which  a  College  Commencement 
permits,  and  not  to  any  want  of  loyalty  either  to  our  profession  or 
brethren. 

Yours,  very  respectfully  and  truly, 


D.  TILDEN  BROWN.

ADDEESS 


Fellow  Alumni  of  the  College 

of  Physicians  and  SttPvGeons  : 

We  meet,  to  night,  as  children  of 
a  common  household,  in  the  homestead  of  an 
honored  parent.  We  gather  around  our  Alma 
Mater,  on  this  recurrence  of  the  maternal  Anni- 
versary, drawn  hither  by  filial  interest  in  an  oc- 
casion, so  appropriately  presided  over  by  a  dis- 
tinguished expert  and  Emeritus  Professor  of 
such  functions.*"* 

The  strains  of  cheerful  music  which  fol- 
lowed the  announcement,  "  ex  auctoritate"  of 
our  revered  mother's  renewed  prosperity,  and 
the  joyous  exultation  with  which  her  new  sonf 
has  heralded  his  accession  to  our  household,  tell 
us  that  the  solemnities  of  the  occasion  are  over, 
and  that  the  older  children  may  now  approach 
to  offer  their  congratulations  and  embrace  their 
new-found  brothers. 

*  Edward  Delafield,  M.D.,  President  of  the  College, 
f  The  Orator  of  the  Graduating  Class. 


6 

Honored  by  your  selection,  to  speak  the  word 
of  filial  and  fraternal  greeting  which  becomes  us 
at  such  a  time,  I  say  in  your  name — All  hail ! 
Alma  Mater;  we  rejoice  in  thy  continued  pros- 
perity and  strength,  for  they  are  founded  on 
such  wisdom  as  ensureth  "  length  of  days"  with 
"  riches  and  honor."  As  thy  disciples,  we  cherish 
thy  counsels ;  as  thy  sons,  we  are  jealous  and 
proud  of  thy  fame ;  and  we  respect  thy  author- 
ity the  more,  that  it  rests  no  longer  on  statutory 
privilege,  but  on  the  sole  and  sound  basis  of 
conservative  medical  science. 

Further,  Gentlemen,  in  your  name,  I  salute 
our  new  brothers  as,  at  once,  our  peers  and 
equals.  Justice  and  decorum  alike  forbid  that 
we  should  address  them  as  our  juniors,  in  words 
of  pedantic  admonition  and  advice.  The  smile 
of  ridicule  were  the  just  rebuke  of  that  self-ap- 
pointed Mentor  who  would  longer  guide  these 
full-robed,  guardians  of  the  public  health.  The 
service  gives  a  common  title  to  all  its  honors. 
All  are  full  ministers  in  the  temple  of  our  sci- 
ence, and  though  there  be  posts  of  precedence 
therein,  still  "  they  also  serve,  who  stand  and 
wait,"  prepared  for  duty  and  eager  for  the  sum- 
mons. 

And,  now,  turning  from  my  grateful  and  easy 
task,  as  your  representative  and  spokesman,  to 


that  hazardous  one  of  speaking  for  myself,  I 
seek,  almost  in  vain,  for  some  plausible  device 
for  j^rolonging  the  exercises  of  this  evening. 

We  have  enjoyed  that  "  feast  of  reason,"  pre- 
pared of  ripe  experience  and  graceful  culture, 
which  a  master  mind  condenses  in  the  counsels 
of  a  moment,  and  our  slumbering  memories  of 
younger  days  have  been  awakened  by  a  "  flow 
of  soul "  born  of  early  hope  and  generous  emu- 
lation.* Shall  the  inspiration  of  the  hour  be 
lost  in  humbler  themes  and  powers  ?  Such  peril 
hangs  on  that  decree  of  Alma  Mater  which  com- 
mands this  additional  discourse. 

But  we  are  not  alone  here,  and  I  am  not 
unmindful  that  this  assembly  may  have  reached 
that  point  of  saturation  which  just  precedes 
spontaneous  solution.  It  may  avert  impending 
deliquescence  to  recall  the  quaint  and  pithy 
saying  of  a  wise  Scotch  clergyman, — "  that  in 
his  own  experience,  he  could  remember  no  reli- 
able conversions  after  the  first  twenty  minutes 
of  his  preaching." 

With  the  promise  of  brevity  thus  implied,  I 
would  remark  here,  that  an  occasion  like  the 
present,  has  not  seemed  to  me  the  most  fit  to  il- 

*  The  addresses  of  the  President,  and  of  the  Valedictorian  precede 
the  address  to  the  Alumni. 


lustrate  "  tlie  dignity  of  dullness,"  by  a  learned, 
or  unlearned,  essay  on  any  special  mystery  of 
our  science  ;  nor  yet  for  displaying  "  tithes  of 
mint,  and  anise,  and  cummin,"  gleaned  in  a  stroll 
across  the  flowery  fields  of  medical  literature. 

I  have  preferred  to  regard  this  as  a  scene  of 
family  reunion,  when  fraternal  feelings  assert 
their  sway,  and  banish,  for  a  time,  the  strain  aud 
pressure  of  peculiar  cares.  May  we  not,  at  such 
a  time,  without  reproof  for  egotism  or  frivolity, 
indulge  in  that  free  converse  which  professional 
kindred  justifies,  and  with  a  candor,  which  com- 
mon interests  shall  shield  from  disloyal  or  un- 
generous reflections  ? 

But  first,  let  us  be  mindful,  that  though  our 
good  mother  has  troops  of  sons,  she  can  claim 
no  daughters,  save  only  those  her  sons  have 
brought  into  her  household  as  their  "  better- 
halves  ;"  and  that  certain  peevish  bachelors  main- 
tain that  only  men  are  safe  depositaries  of  all 
professional  secrets.  Without  venturing  to  speak 
for  our  brothers  of  theology  and  law,  I  think  it 
safe  to  say  that  physicians  repose  great  confi- 
dence in  the  discretion  and  reticence  of  ladies, 
and  that  in  this  family  gathering,  I  shall  assume 
that  all  the  gentlemen  are  doctors — or  expect  to 
be — and  all  those  of  the  still  gentler  sex,  who 


honor  us  with  their  grateful  presence,  are  either 
wives  of  doctors — or  hope  to  be. 

Thanks  to  the  ladies,  the  Temple  of  Escula- 
pius,  is  no  Benedictine  Monastery,  and  the  fault 
is  all  his  own,  if  the  pilgrim  to  its  shrine  be  not 
cheered  along  his  way,  by  one  whose  sympathy 
and  smile  shall  gladden  both  his  waiting  and 
his  working  years.  This  imaginary  temple, 
which  crowns  the  "  Delectable  Mountains "  of 
medical  science,  symbolizing  the  sacred  dignrty 
of  our  calling,  rises  at  fancy's  beck,  like  the 
classic  peristyle,  depicted  in  a  gifted  artist's 
"Vision  of  Arcadia."*  And  thus  is  it  em- 
blazoned on  the  broad  seal  of  the  honorable 
"  Academy  of  Medicine,"  standing  far  above  the 
clouds  of  earthy  doubt,  and  dispensing  its  rays 
of  healing  for  the  nations.  Midway  the  rugged 
steep,  a  zealous  aspirant  strains  every  nerve  to 
reach  the  perennial  summer-house  in  which  the 
spirit  of  our  patron-saint,  is  figuratively  said  to 
dwell.  But  the  real  "  chapel  of  ease,"  which  we 
corporeal  disciples  are  all  panting  to  reach,  af- 
fords a  better  shelter  against  the  vicissitudes  of 
climate.  It  is  a  brown-stone  English-basement 
dwelling,  comprising  all  the  modern  improve- 
ments, and  situated  in  a  genteel  neighborhood 
of  New- York  City.     No  type  of  it  is  visible  on 

*  A  painting  of  the  late  Thomas  Cole. 


10 

the  escutcheon  of  the  honorable  Academicians, 
but  you  may  find  it  in  the  mansion  of  their 
worthy  President  *  Not  a  few  of  our  asso- 
ciates, whose  household-gods  have  found  lodg- 
ings in  such  a  tabernacle,  were  fellow-benchers 
with  me,  only  twenty  years  ago,  on  the  seats  of 
time-honored  old  "  Crosby  Street," — an  ancient 
Asclepion,  planned  from  a  model  of  the  Cretan 
Labyrinth,  gloomy  as  the  inner  chamber  of  a 
pyramid,  and  redolent  of  the  savory  incense 
of  Jemmy  Henderson'sf  Scotch  haggis.  Some 
of  these  associates  went  out  from  the  portals  of 
that  solemn  building,  bearing  no  other  scrip 
than  that  which  certified  their  fidelity  and 
merit ;  but  they  now  repose  on  lawns  of  tapes- 
try, beneath  "  wide-spreading  beeches" — dwarfed 
for  domestic  use  as  chandeliers.  Their  clays  are 
passed  in  the  abodes  of  physic-craving  luxury; 
and  Kit  North,  himself,  might  envy  the  mingled 
wit  and  wisdom  which  enliven  their  appointed 
"  Noctes  Ambrosianae."  J  It  is  but  just ;  for 
they  "have  borne  the  burden  and  heat"  of  many 
weary  days ;  therefore,  "  let  those  who  have  de- 
served it,  bear  the  palm." 

Others,  quite  as  worthy,  have  wandered  into

other  spheres  of  "usefulness,  and  shed  a  brilliant 
light  as  they  move  along  their  orbits. 

In  yonder  "  Free  Academy,"  where  the  ma- 
turing ear  of  youthful  knowledge  ripens  its 
full-formed  grain,  Aetthon  and  Gibbs  ingraft 
their  science  and  accomplishments  upon  the 
hardy  stalk  of  preparatory  training.  And 
in  that  feudal  "  Institute,"  where  S:\iitiiso:\V 
bounty  was  poured  out  to  prove  that  archi- 
tects can  always  overcome  "  the  embarrass- 
ment of  riches,"  Leconte  and  Baird  fill 
honorable  posts  as  co-laborers  with  Agassiz. 

Another  pair  of  brothers  I  remember,  who 
have  left  our  ranks  to  stroll  in  meadows  where 
we  cannot  follow.  As  I  pass  down  the  treach- 
erous street  where  Mammon  counts  his  gains,  I 
see  one  sit  behind  a  ponderous  volume,  which 
contains  no  word  of  Galen  or  Hippocrates. 
The  other  sought  the  pastoral  life  which  Lab  Ais- 
led, and  now  beside  our  beauteous  river,  he 
tends  his  flock  of  South-down  sheep  and 
Devons — with  better  luck,  I  hope,  than  other 
Labans  of  these  latter  days,  who  raise  such 
fancy  cattle. 

It  is  a  common  complaint  in  all  professions, 
that  celebrity  and  success  often  bear  no  just 
relation  to  true  professional  rank.  But  im- 
partial judges  will  assume  that  medical  pros- 


12 

perity  implies  qualities  which  command  men's 
confidence  or  inspire  their  hope,  and  this  ap- 
plies equally  to  honorable  men,  and  to  im- 
postors. 

Each  has  his  appropriate  admirers,  but  they 
all  alike  are  moved  by  the  same  instinct  of 
self-preservation.  But  if  most  persons  consult 
physicians  from  a  natural  dread  of  death  and 
suffering,  it  is  no  less  true  that  some  do  so 
only  from  unwillingness  to  incur  the  responsi- 
bility of  rejecting  medical  advice.  They  have 
a  constitutional  distrust  of  all  medical  theory 
and  practice.  They  send  for  a  doctor  when 
they  sicken,  because  if  they  die  without  his 
finger  having  touched  their  pulse,  they  virtu- 
ally commit  felo-de-se,  and  fall  into  the  irreve- 
rent hands  of  a  coroner's  assistant.  Their  state 
of  mind  resembles  that  half-way  faith  in  light- 
ning-rods, so  often  shown  by  people  who  attach 
these  safeguards  to  their  dwellings,  to  conduct 
off  public  censure  in  case  of  accident,  and  thus 
to  save  insurance,  rather  than  as  protectors 
against  the  thunder-bolt  itself. 

Occasionally  we  meet  a  miserable  man  in 
whose  phrenological  organism  the  lobule  of 
medical  faith  seems  absolutely  wanting.  Not 
that  the  abstract  quality  is  wholly  absent.  He 
believes  implicitly  in   the    Open-Polar- sea,   in 


13 

his  own  interpretation  of  Revelation;  and  in 
his  sure  immunity  from  rheumatism,  so  long 
as  he  shall  carry  three  horse-chestnuts  in  his 
trowsers  pocket.  But  he  would  rather  drown 
than  be  resuscitated  by  "the  easy  method'' 
of  Dr.  Maeshall  Hall,  and  would  take  his 
chance  with  an  obstructed  larynx,  sooner  than 
let  a  surgeon  make  a  whistle  of  his  trachea. 
But  even  this  acejxhalous  monster  is  needed 
for  the  harmonious  working  of  Nature's  great 
principle  of  compensation,  for  he  becomes  the 
complement  and  offset  of  that  hyper-credulous 
and  prudent  citizen  mentioned  by  Dr.  Holmes, 
"  who  finding  on  the  side-walk  a  box  of  un- 
known  pills,  proceeds  to  take  them  all,  on  the 
general  principle  that  pills  are  good  for  people." 
Containing  mercury,  the  pills  gave  the  simple- 
ton a  bad  sore  mouth,  and  our  lucky  colleague 
a  patient  whose  trust  in  physic  compensates  the 
skepticism  and  parsimony  of  the  other  faithless 
wretch. 

Certain  facetious  cynics,  who  occasionally 
find  vent  for  their  benign  humors  in  public 
prints,  deride  medical  art,  because  it  fails  of 
miraculous  powers.  These  brave  critics  have 
descended  from  those  who  ridiculed  the  faith 
and  labor  of  the  pious  Aek-buildek,  but  who, 


14 

in  the  hour  of  peril,  reminded  him  of  the 
maritime  rights  of  neutrals. 

At  the  touch  of  pestilence,  they  summon  a 
physician  ;  and  now,  from  their  streaming  eyes 
and  melting  hearts,  tears  and  truth  flow  to- 
gether. Sure  as  we  are  of  our  triumph  at  the 
last,  it  is  not  a  little  grievous  to  find  these 
cavillers  among  the  educated  classes,  and  even 
in  the  ranks  of  the  liberal  profession. 

An  accomplished  Doctor  of  Divinity,*  in  a 
discourse  given  before  the  Albany  Medical 
School,  a  year  ago,  admits  that  "  the  clergy  are, 
too  generally,  the  warmest  supporters  and  eulo- 
gists of  the  irregular  doctors ;  so  that  thus  it 
often  comes  to  pass  that  those  most  rigidly 
orthodox  in  regard  to  their  theological  doctrine, 
are  just  those  most  radically  heterodox  in  re- 
gard to  their  medical  practice? 

Indeed,  on  what  other  rule  can  we  explain 
the  spectacle  of  a  highly  honored  clergyman,  of 
mature  years,  and  the  prominent  representative 
of  a  most  conservative  theology,  submitting  his 
beloved  child  into  the  rash  hands  of  a  man 
claiming  no  other  healing  powers  than  those 
vouchsafed  him  directly  by  the  Deity,  and  who 
had  not  long  before  emerged  from  that  special 
guardianship  which  usually  befalls  those  who

15 

sincerely  claim  such  providential  favor.  Nor  is 
this  a  solitary  instance.  Many  of  you  remem- 
ber how  large  a  part  of  a  certain  Christian  sect 
were  shocked  to  hear — a  few  years  ago — that 
one  of  their  most  honored  teachers,  renowned 
for  reverence  to  authority,  was  in  critical 
danger  of  sacrifice  to  the  ignorance  and  pre- 
sumption of  an  impostor. 

The  same  reverend  orator  from  whom  I  have 
already  quoted,  seeking  the  principle  in  man's 
nature  which  permits  such  inconsistencies,  dis- 
covers it  in  "a  certain  amount  of  innate  radi- 
calism and  destructiveness  existing  in  every 
man — in  those  most  who  are  least  conscious 
of  it,  and  who  would  most  eagerly  resent  the 
accusation."  In  other  words,  I  suppose  these 
eccentricities  of  conduct  may  be  regarded  as 
the  outcroppings  of  the  Protestant  spirit, 
which,  in  the  man  of  moral  and  religious 
rectitude,  shows  itself  in  medical  or  social  or 
scientific  heresies.  But  this  spirit  is,  after  all, 
essential  to  the  intellectual  liberty  and  develop- 
ment of  man  ;  and,  therefore,  I,  for  one,  do  not 
regret  the  repeal  of  those  protective  and  pro- 
hibitive laws  which  formerly  gave  special  pri- 
vileges to  our  profession.  The  republican  prin- 
ciple favors  the  largest  liberty  of  opinion  in 
science,  as  of  conscience  in  religion,  and  a  com- 


16 

immity  in  "which  the  tenure  of  the  judicial 
office  is  as  uncertain  as  the  popular  caprice,  will 
naturally  leave  physicians  to  their  individual 
talents  for  success.  I  believe  the  only  special 
privilege  now  accorded  by  legislative  statute  to 
the  practitioners  of  legitimate  medicine,  is  that 
of  assembling  annually  in  the  State  Capitol,  to 
read  and  discuss  those  essays  which  the  State 
will  pay  for  printing,  while  it  refuses  to  pay 
for  the  dinner  which  is  discussed  at  the  same 
time,  with  far  more  harmony  and  relish.  As 
one  whose  professional  prosperity  would  not  be 
affected  by  restoration  of  the  old  monopolies,  I 
am,  of  course,  able  to  express  a  disinterested 
opinion  on  this  matter,  and  I  believe  sincerely 
that  any  attempt  to  revive  those  exclusive 
rights,  would  invite  the  humiliating  rebuke 
that  —  doctors  have  no  rights  which  sick  men 
are  bound  to  respect.  Might  it  not  be  well  to 
spare  ourselves  such  irony  ?  As  a  rule,  doctors 
do  not  thrive  on  legislation,  (witness  the  his- 
tory of  the  Sanitary  Association  of  our  city,) 
while  lawyers  do,  for  they  are  always  multiply- 
ing laws,  which,  in  their  turn,  are  always  multi- 
plying lawyers'  fees. 

I   had   here   inserted   a   mild    remonstrance 

against  the   right  which  counsel lors-at-1  a. w  ac- 
es o 

cord  to  all  who  claim  it,  of  employing  a  physi- 


17 

cian  of  whatsoever  school  of  practice  they  prefer. 
Such  utter  waut  of  comity  to  us  as  brethren  of 
a  liberal  profession,  deserves  severe  reproof,  but 
as  physicians  sometimes  stand  in  embarrassing 
relations  to  members  of  the  bar,  I  waive  our 
present  vantage,  and  let  valor  wait  upon  discre- 
tion. If  anything  were  needed  to  fix  this  reso- 
lution, it  would  present  itself  in  a  late  catastro- 
phe in  a  barbarous  rural  court,  where  law  and 
medicine  collided  with  such  fearful  energy  and 
shock,  that  the  twin  sciences  seemed  at  the  very 
point  of  common  dissolution.  Our  science,  and 
our  Alma  Mater,  triumphed,  in  the  person  of 
the  Ajax,  who  bears  upon  his  shoulders  her 
weight  of  jurisprudence,*  but  the  memory  of 
that  terrific  scene,  warns  me  to  forbear  provok- 
ing a  knight-at-law  to  combat. 

While  we  are  in  the  mood  for  demolishing 
our  enemies,  let  us  notice  one  other  class  who 
wound  medical  sensibility,  less  by  deriding  our 
noble  art,  than  by  imputing  to  ourselves  a 
propensity  to  magnify  our  responsibilities  and 
cares.  It  were  idle  trying  to  refute  or  to  con- 
ciliate these  heathen  folk,  but  let  those  who 
deem  the  trials  of  the  physician  light,  and  his 
burden  easy,  read  Mr.  Dickens'  Chapter  on 
"  Waifs  at  Sea,"  and  contemplate  the  perplexity

and  mental  agony  of  poor  Doctor  Jolly,  when 
the  baby  from  the  starboard  cabin  and  the 
baby  from  the  larboard  cabin,  being  placed  in 
the  same  cradle,  get  indiscriminately  mixed,  so 
that  the  nnhappy  man  cannot  decide  which  is 
the  starboard  baby  nor  which  the  baby  from 
the  larboard  side. 

It  is  mortifying  to  us,  as  physicians,  to  remem- 
ber that  the  representative  of  our  science  was 
unequal  to  the  occasion,  for  "  the  voice  of  Na- 
ture "  proving  wholly  unreliable  as  a  discrimi- 
nating test,  the  captain  of  the  ship  solved  the 
physiological  enigma  on  the  primitive  and  un- 
professional basis  of  proportionate  avoirdupois, 
by  awarding  the  heaviest  infant  to  the  heaviest 
mother.  The  imbecility  of  a  "  medical-director  " 
who  could  leave  such  small  bodies  of  defenceless 
infantry  to  the  dangers  of  such  an  ambush,  even 
for  half  an  hour,  and  his  inability  to  extricate 
them  from  the  sad  dilemma  which  confused 
aristocratic  wath  vile  plebeian  blood,  leads  me 
to  consider,  briefly,  the  causes  of  success  and 
failure  among  our  fellows. 

In  looking  over  the  list  of  the  brotherhood — 
for  which  we  are  indebted  to  our  esteemed  as- 
sociate, Dr.  Geokge  H.  Tucker — I  find  few  or 
none  of  my  own  contemporaries  who  have  clang 
to  their  foster-mother,  that  are  not  now  in  com- 


19 

fortable,  or  even  enviable  professional  positions. 
This  general  success  would  seem,  at  first  sight, 
to  conflict  with  the  popular  belief  that  failure 
is  the  more  common  lot  of  all  professional  aspi- 
rants. A  frequent  cause  of  the  anomaly,  if  it 
be  such,  seems  to  lie  in  a  single  trait  of  charac- 
ter. Whatever  may  have  been  the  lever,  which 
lifted  the  successful  man  out  of  that  "  Slough 
of  Despond,"  in  which  most  of  us  found  our- 
selves struggling  —  after  leaping  with  a  cheer 
from  the  rostrum,  on  commencement-day — the 
fulcrum  has  been  in  every  case  the  same.  Supe- 
rior attainments,  or  favoring  personal  traits, 
may  have  been  the  ostensible  agent  of  his  pros- 
perity, but  their  essential  foothold  has  ever  been 
steadfastness  of  pwyose. 

Among  those  who  have  sunk  beneath  the 
waters  of  medical  oblivion,  were  not  only  the 
torpid,  the  impatient  and  the  weak-hearted,  but 
brilliant  men,  and  geniuses  for  whom  we  our- 
selves predicted  easy  victory.  A  few,  alas  ! 
who  had  noble  souls  and  willing  hands,  "  car- 
ried weight"  beyond  their  strength — "  the  hated 
weight  of  poverty,"  which  bore  them  down  into 
the  bitter  flood,  struggling  like  heroes  to  the 
last.  As  explanatory  of  the  failure  of  the  first 
mentioned  class,  it  may  not  be  rash  to  assert 
that  the  pivot  on  which  the  whole  career  of  a 


20 

medical  man  seems  chiefly  to  turn,  is  his  temper - 
ament,  and  viewed  in  the  light  of  this  hypothe- 
sis, the  individual  history  of  those  who  have,  as 
well  as  of  those  who  have  not  prospered,  seems 
equally  comprehensible.  You  remember  the 
Adonis  of  our  day,  whose  gay  attire  and  fault- 
less toilet  provoked  the  guileless  jest  that  he 
had  attained  perfection  in  the  art  of  dress  by 
giving  his  whole  mind  to  it.  We  ascribed  his 
fastidious  nicety,  his  aversion  to  all  fellowship, 
and  his  effeminate  disgust  at  practical  anatomy, 
to  a  fallow  intellect  and  an  idle  vanity.  We 
were  mistaken.  He  was  only  out  of  his  element. 
Like  Dr.  Oliver  Goldsmith — I  had  almost  said 
Dr.  Oliver  Holmes — his  temperament  required 
a  different  atmosphere  and  nourishment.  In 
good  time,  however,  he  discerned  his  error  and 
retired ;  and  he  still  lives  to  charm  many  an 
admirer,  not  only  with  his  daily  changes  of  ap- 
parel, but  with  the  better  taste  of  a  graceful 
essayist  and  far-famed  critic  in  his  chosen  walk 
of  literature. 

A  second,  for  whom  we  all  predicted  the 
brightest  future,  gained  knowledge  with  the 
rapid  ease  of  genius,  and  retained  it  with  the 
grasp  of  a  well-trained  mind  and  memory.  But 
intellect  and  learning  are  not  alone  tried  in  the 
struggle  of  life.     Temper  and  disposition  bear 


21 

their  share  in  the  contest,  and  here  this  warrior 
was  w^eak.  Sensitive,  impatient,  and  conten- 
tions, he  offended  many  who  could  reward  his 
skill,  and  repelled  even  the  needy,  whom  he 
would  have  aided  by  a  generous  stewardship  of 
his  ample  means  and  talents.  His  infirmity  was 
innate,  and  the  inevitable  consequence  came  at 
last. 

For  years,  the  slowly  rusting  shingle  pro- 
claimed his  calling  and  abode,  but  it  belied  that 
legend  of  our  craft  which  transmutes  the  golden 
varnish  of  the  physician's  sign  into  the  solid 
treasure  of  his  own  experience.  Eddystone 
lighthouse  for  an  office,  with  his  name  upon  its 
door-post,  would  have  brought  him  fees  and 
fame  as  surely  and  as  fast. 

Where  is  now  the  man  who,  in  our  time,  was 
considered  " facile  princeps ■"  among  his  fellows, 
and  around  whose  brow  the  laurels  seemed 
already  clustering,  while  yet  he  sat  upon  the 
academic  benches  ?  His  ready  answers  at  the 
daily  "  qwz*  won  the  Professor's  smile,  and  fore- 
told that  the  dangerous  ground  which  stretched 
between  the  green-room  door  and  the  envied 
doctorate,  would  be  for  him  but  a  gentle  gar- 
den slope,  along  whose  "  ways  of  pleasantness  " 
he  should  move  with  ease  and  peace.  Time  has 
revealed  that  his  field  of  triumph  was  there, 


99 


where  memory  and  confidence  secure  an  easy 
victory.  He  passed  the  Rubicon  of  a  medical 
career,  assured  of  higher  honors,  by  the  posses- 
sion of  precocious  powers.  But  he  encountered 
veterans  who  had  wrapped  themselves  in  know- 
ledge "  as  in  a  garment."  They  met  him  with 
a  kindly  welcome,  but  they  neither  bowed 
their  heads  in  reverence,  nor  spread  their  gar- 
ments in  his  way.  So  the  milk  of  human  sym- 
pathy curdled  and  soured  within  his  modest 
heart,  and  to  this  day,  disappointed  himself,  he 
has  also  disappointed  those  whose  prophecies 
bespoke  for  him  the  applause  of  compeers  and 
the  rewards  of  fame.  In  a  word,  a  temperament 
born  of  vanity,  and  nurtured  on  the  condiments 
of  lecture-room  distinction,  has  been  his  bane 
and  ruin. 

These  examples  will  suffice  as  negative  exam- 
ples of  the  proposition  that  temperament,  rather 
than  intellect,  is  ofttimes  the  axis  on  which  the 
wheel  of  medical  fortune  revolves.  Let  us  con- 
template some  instances  of  positive  demonstra- 
tion. 

Placidus,  Geatiano,  and  Scultetus  are  all 
successful  men.  Shall  we  inquire  what  has 
helped  to  make  them  so  ?  A  captious  judge 
would  condemn  Geatiano,  without  parley,  for 
a  vaporer.     A  police-surgeon,  in  his  capacity  of 


23 

warden  of  the  public  health,  reported  Geatiano 
as  a  public  nuisance,  by  reason  of  cerebro-lin- 
gual  fistula ;  for  from  his  brain  and  tongue  there 
pours  such  sanious  loquacity,  that  we  step  aside 
to  escape  the  effluence  of  words.  But  Geatiaxo 
finds  many  listeners,  who  listen  to  believe,  and 
believing,  entrust  him  with  their  lives.  Explain 
it,  if  you  will,  as  you  explain  the  cheerful  cour- 
tesy with  which  a  garroted  citizen  resigns  his 
well-filled  purse  to  the  persuasions  of  his  obdu- 
rate solicitor.  Still  the  fact  remains ;  and  Gea- 
tiaxo  is  the  confidential  friend  and  medical 
attendant  of  a  large  constituency,  as  invisible  to 
other  doctors,  as  was  to  Mr.  Eveeett  that  "  un- 
known public "  who  read  Boxxee's  Ledger, 
until  a  hint  from  Boxxee's  check-book  induced 
the  learned  publicist  to  investigate  a  novel 
phase  of  national  statistics.  Let  us  not  speak 
slightingly  of  Geatiaxo's  medical  renown,  for 
is  he  not  our  brother  ?  Let  us  rather  see  in  his 
plausibility,  good  fellowship  and  seeming  sym- 
pathy with  those  forms  of  sorrow  which  demand 
much  loud  expression,  rather  than  low-toned 
words  of  sincerity  and  truth,  one  source,  at 
least,  of  his  success. 

How  different  is  Placidus  !  so  silent  that  he 
seems  even  to  be  dreading  the  fate  of  holy  Zach- 
arias,  who  repaid  by  forty  weeks  of  silence,  his 


24 

less  than  twenty  words  of  hasty  speech.  Des- 
pite this  taciturnity,  Placidus  has  friends  who 
know  his  worth,  and  around  whose  hearths  clus- 
ter the  charms  of  refined  and  happy  homes. 
They  do  not  judge  him  by  the  rule  and  plum- 
met of  his  peers,  but  by  the  test  of  kindness 
and  fidelity  in  their  hours  of  sorrow,  when  he 
calms  their  grief 

"  With  looks  and  tones,  that  dart 
An  instant  sunshine  through  the  heart." 

Is  it  not  easy  to  understand  how  Placidus,  at 
the  age  of  forty,  without  being  a  Professor,  or  a 
noted  specialist,  or  even  holding  a  hospital  ap- 
pointment, should  live  in  the  envied  "  brown- 
stone,  English  basement "  dwelling,  and  have  a 
practice  of  five  thousand  a  year  % 

Scultetus  is  our  last  illustration.  You  all 
know  Scultetus,  for  he  will  not  remain  un- 
known. He  is  a  typical  man ;  typical  of  a  class 
very  common  in  other  walks  of  life,  but,  let  us 
be  thankful,  very  rare  in  ours  —  men  of  self- 
esteem.  He  is  original  and  resolute,  a  man  of 
energy  and  resource.  He  never  makes  mistakes, 
and  though  others  hesitate  when  all  is  dark  be- 
fore  them,  he  does  not  halt  at  trifles.  He  is 
unquestionably  a  man  of  nerve,  for  he  himself 
declares  that  he  was  cradled  in  a  voltaic  bat- 
tery, and  nourished  with  electric  fluid  from  a 


25 

Ley  den  jar.  He  is  his  own  authority  in  theory 
and  practice ;  he  makes  precedents  with  the  ease 
of  a  diplomatist,  and  ignores  them,  when  it  suits 
his  purpose,  as  airily  as  does  the  facile  Minister 
of  Foreign  Affairs,  in  a  certain  mighty  and  dis- 
dainful monarchy.  His  office  bristles,  like  an 
armory,  with  the  burnished  weapons  of  a  surgi- 
cal belligerent,  and  those  countless  trophies  of 
his  prowess  which  adorn  his  walls  and  shelves, 
appal  the  timid  and  astound  the  brave.  His 
admiring  patrons  call  him  "the  wise  Sculte- 
tus,"  but  I  heard  an  envious  rival  say,  he  was 
"  only  wise  in  his  own  conceit  ;" 

And  one  of  those  "unconditional,  loyal  men," 
Whom  we  meet  among  doctors  now  and  then, 
Who  defend  their  science  as  they  would  their  lives, 
— It  wasn't  "Doctor  Russell"  nor  "Doctor  Ives" — 

Remarked,  with  scorn  in  his  eyes, 
That  "certain  wise  men  of  modern  days, 
Had  taken  to  very  crooked  ways  ; 
And  as  he  believed  in  whatever  pays, 

Scultetus  might  yet  do  like-Wise." 

It  was  a  very  cruel  jest,  unworthy  a  professing 
brother,  and  withal,  a  very  old  one.  But  we 
may  even  forgive  old  jokes,  to  loyal  men,  in 
these  days  when  the  rebel  hosts  of  Hahnemann 
are  besieging  the  National  Committee-rooms, 
and  even  provoking  Presidential  jokes  by  their 
pertinacity. 


26 

But  when  we  come  to  apply  our  test  to  Scul- 
tetus,  we  find  that  though  he  wears  no  wreath, 
won  in  the  temple  of  Apollo,  he  yet  pays  heavy 
bills  for  horse-shoes,  while  his  detractor,  whose 
learned  essays  "  fall  thick  as  leaves  in  Valam- 
brosa,"  never  knew  the  price  of  oats. 

Now  how  comes  this  ?  In  the  language  of 
the  day,  what  is  the  key  to  their  position  % 
Temperament !  It  is  the  old,  world-wide  story 
of  tact  and  talent,  told  in  living  characters. 
As  the  majority  of  the  human  race  mistake 
their  notions  for  opinions,  so  they  select  their 
jmysician  by  a  caprice  which  they  call  judg- 
ment. Is  it  strange  that  they  choose  Dr.  Tact, 
rather  than  Dr.  Talent?  Many  a  talented 
physician  languishes  for  a  time,  in  obscurity 
and  neglect,  while  some  of  less  real  merit  flour- 
ish in  the  sunshine  of  popular  favor  and  reward. 
Thus  in  Medicine,  as  in  the  Forum  and  the  Sen- 
ate, tact  wins  the  race,  unless  it  be  a  long  one ; 
for  though  talent  is  power,  tact  is  skill ;  and 
while  talent  is  an  honor  to  the  profession,  tact 
contrives  to  gather  most  of  the  popular  honors 
bestowed  on  the  profession.  aThe  slow  shilling 
and  the  nimble  sixpence"  find  their  counter- 
parts in  these  qualities,  for  while  talent  is  to  t lie 
physician  as  funded  wealth,  tact  is  ready  money. 
Talent  is  as  gold  bullion,  on  special  deposit  in 


27 

a  bank  vault ;  tact  is  a  "  demand  note,"  not 
necessarily  redeemable  in  coin,  but  a  legal  ten- 
der and  of  ready  currency.  Who  can  say  that 
the  note  will  never  come  to  discount?  who 
doubts  that  the  bullion,  though  it  yield  no 
present  revenue,  will  be  sterling  to  the  last ! 

If  the  imaginary  illustrations  above  adduced, 
possess  any  verisimilitude  as  representing  class- 
es of  medical  men  —  and  they  must  not  be 
regarded  as  attempts  at  individual  portraiture 
— they  tend  to  show  that  high  attainments  are 
not  a  certain  guarantee  of  popular  applause,  nor 
the  lack  of  them  an  unconquerable  hindrance  to 
success.  This  does  not  impair  the  value  of  such 
attainments,  but  it  reveals  a  native  solvent  of 
all  opposing  obstacles,  which  the  licentiate  of  a 
rural  country  Medical  Society  may  share  as 
largely  as  the  prize  essayist  of  any  school  of  the 
metropolis.  Indeed,  this  medical  sagacity  is 
not  restricted  to  professors  of  our  art.  The 
Prince  of  Orange  was  no  physician,  but  at  the 
siege  of  Breda  he  expelled  the  scurvy  from  his 
army,  after  his  surgeons  failed,  by  adroitly 
vaunting  the  miraculous  healing  power  of  a 
simple  elixir,  and  thus  restoring  confidence  and 
hope  among  his  troops.  Mr.  Rakey  does  not 
assert  the  title  "  Medicinae  Doctor,"  but  could 
Pinel  himself  have  used  his  "  moral  treatment " 


28 


and  mild  restraint  with  more  effect,  in  restoring 
equine  maniacs  to  equanimity  ? 

AYithout  tliis  "  second  sight "  in  the  art  of 
medicine,  even  learning  often  fails  to  attain  the 
purpose  of  that  art — the  detection  and  the  cure 
of  human  illness.  Authors  and  professors  may 
point  the  inquiring  pilgrim  to  the  guide-posts 
of  his  journey,  but  he  must  himself  discern  the 
dangers  of  the  way,  lest,  like  the  unwary 
mariner  who  steers  his  course  by  compass  and 
the  stars  alone,  taking  no  thought  of  shoals,  or 
currents,  or  obscuring  fogs,  he  terminate  his 
voyage  before  he  gains  "  the  safe  haven  where 
he  would  be." 

It  seems  not  improper  here  to  congratulate 
our  Alma  Mater  on  the  late  accession  to  her 
sisterhood  of  that  modest,  blushing  maiden, 
surnamed  the  "  Beautiful-of-view."  The  event 
is  an  auspicious  omen  of  a  spreading  confidence 
in  conservative  medicine  throughout  our  com- 
monwealth of  States.  It  seemed,  perhaps,  at 
first,  to  a  few  of  us  who  live  outside  the  pale 
of  medical  enlightenment,  a  somewhat  prema- 
ture provision  for  this  most  creditable  hanker- 
ing for  the  good,  orthodox,  old-fashioned  kind 
of  physic  ;  but  how  could  we  longer  doubt  its 
need,  when  three  clergymen — one  of  them  an 
archbishop — and  two  lawyers  assured  us  of  the 


29 

fact  —  to  say  nothing  of  the  medical  orators, 
whose  views,  however,  under  the  circumstances 
of  their  special  relation  to  the  occasion,  could 
hardly  be  regarded  as  wholly  free  from  bias. 
This  encouraging  event  is  also  an  earnest  of  that 
coming  happy  day,  when  sound  and  reliable 
physicians  shall  abound  in  this  now  scantily 
supplied  community,  so  that  every  family  may 
enjoy  the  exclusive  guardianship  of  its  own 
conservator  of  health,  and  a  doctor's  sign  on 
every  dwelling  proclaim  an  agency  of  our  life- 
insuring  science.  Then  whooping-cough  and 
cholera-infantum  shall  no  longer  desolate  our 
nurseries  like  ravening  wolves,  but  every  grove 
and  copse  of  our  then  umbrageous  park  shall 
resound  with  the  melody  of  children,  and  we 
shall  see  the  clay  predicted,  by  the  ancient  pro- 
phet, when  "  the  streets  of  the  city  shall  be  full 
of  boys  and  girls,  playing  in  the  streets  there- 
of." Then,  too,  all  rivalries  and  jealousies  shall 
cease  between  our  brethren,  and  only  such  fra- 
ternal strifes  be  known  among  us,  as  that  which 
history  relates  of  those  old-time  worthies,  Da- 
mon and  Pythias,  who  were  doubtless  doctors. 

These  hopes  are  surely  not  too  extravagant 
to  rest  upon  the  programme  of  the  new  Ascle- 
pion,  for  there  is  gathered  there  a  constellation, 
composed  of  full-orbed  suns  from  many  different 


30 

spheres,  pledged  to  illuminate  the  chaos  of  me- 
dical obscurity.  Three  stars  of  magnitude  unite 
to  outshine  a  single  planet  of  our  own  galaxy, 
while  five  have  clustered,  like  the  Pleiades,  to 
pale  the  genial  luminary,  whose  fertilizing  rays 
still  warm  the  subtile  soil  we  till  for  daily  bread. 
To  speak  seriously,  my  brethren,  may  we  not 
congratulate  ourselves,  that  in  our  day,  and  in 
the  old  nursery  of  our  good  mother,  though 
her  children  received  fewer  luxuries,  the  diet 
was  no  less  nutritious,  while  ample  time  was  al- 
lowed for  its  assimilation  ?  But  in  these  pro- 
gressive days,  and  under  the  new  forcing  system 
of  medical  education,  suggested  by  the  processes 
of  provision  -  packing  industry,  the  student's 
brain  is  turned  to  "  head-cheese"  with  incredible 
celerity.  Not  only  is  he  crammed  with  the 
standing  hash  of  fevers,  aches,  and  fractures, 
and  seasoned  with  the  formulas  of  chemistry 
and  the  denser  spice  of  pharmacy,  but  by  the 
aid  of  new  machinery  he  may  be  larded  with 
the  potted  dainties  of  two  great  hospitals  with- 
out material  extension  of  the  lecture  term. 
Does  not  the  process  seem,  in  truth,  to  have 
been  borrowed  from  the  daily  operations  of 
some  great  "  packing-house"  ? 

Let  me  not  be  thought  to  underrate  the  in- 
estimable value  of  a  thorough  preparation  for 


31 

the  truly  solemn  trust  which  a  physician  solicits 
and  assumes.     Never  was  there  greater  need  of 
earnest  care  and  effort  by  faithful  teachers  of 
our  art  than  now.     Those  ruthless  foes  of  man 
the  "idio-koino"  germs  of  pestilence  and  death 
spread  havoc  and  dismay  throughout  our  land 
The  wounds  of  bullets  and   lacerating  shells 
corruption  in  the  camp,  infection  everywhere,  de 
mand  the  highest  skill  which  medicine  and  sur 
gery  can  boast.     No  height  of  civil  rank,  no 
wealth  nor  fame  can  buy  immunity  from  acci- 
dent, or  poisonous  miasm  of  marshy  plains,  nor 
even  from  the  error  of  a  druggist's  haste.* 

In  his  contest  with  such  foes,  surely  no  phy- 
sician would  despise,  nor  in  the  least  disparage 
his  only  source  of  strength,  an  ample  knowledge 
of  his  art.  We  live  to  fight  disease,  though  by 
fighting  it  we  live ;  but  we  can  neither  fight 
nor  live  unless  we  be  fully  armed  against  our 
subtle  foe.  A  nameless  doctor,  whose  fancy 
chimes  with  paradox,  thus  rhymes  about  our 
common  enemy — and  friend — and  of  our  duty 
toward  him — 

"Disease,  thou  ever  most  propitious  power, 
Whose  kind  indulgencies  we  taste  each  hour ; 

*  The  recent  affliction  of  the  President's  family,  and  the  death  of 
Hon.  Wm.  Pennington  by  morphine,  dispensed  as  quinine,  will  recur 
to  all.

Thou  ,well  canst  boast  a  numerous  pedigree, 

Begot  by  want,  entailed  by  luxury. 

In  gilded  palaces  thy  prowess  reigns, 

Nor  scorns  the  humble  cot  of  toiling  swains ; 

To  you  such  might  and  unconcern  belong, 

You  blanch  the  blooming  and  paralyze  the  strong. 

All-conquering  conquerors  in  chains  you  bind, 

And  are  to  us  physicians,  only,  kind. 

Then  in  return,  all  diligence  we  '11  pay, 

To  curb  thy  empire  and  subvert  thy  sway." 

With  such,  intent  of  gratitude  and  loyalty  to 
our  generous  patron,  how  shall  we  attain  our 
aim,  unless  the  leaders  of  our  host  are  diligent 
in  teaching  their  cadets  the  manual  of  arms  and 
tactics  of  the  field  ? 

Another  reason  insures  that  profound  respect 
for  the  highest  ran^e  of  education  in  our  schools 
of  medicine  which  we  must,  necessarily,  share 
in  common.  We  cannot  doubt  the  fact  that  a 
mighty  force  is  throbbing  throughout  the  vitals 
of  our  nation,  which  warns  us  to  take  heed  that 
the  frame-work  of  our  system  be  not  too  rudely 
shaken.  Such  times  as  these  favor  the  schemes 
of  daring  men,  and  it  behooves  ns  to  be  alert. 
Some  signs  portend  a  growing  trust  in  the 
merits  of  our  faith,  but  some  lend  countenance 
to  the  intrigues  of  heresy.  The  officers  of  State 
and  great  councils  of  our  Government  assume 
the  task  and  functions  of  a  medical  commission. 
They  become  critical  observers  of  national  (lis- 


33 

ease,  and  attempt  its  diagnosis,  management, 
and  cure.  This  is  their  rightful  province,  but 
remark  the  risk  to  us.  There  is  danger  that 
their  course  may  deal  us  the  injustice  of  giving 
aid  and  comfort  to  our  enemy,  the  homoeopathic 
league,  and  prove  its  theory  correct,  without  in- 
dorsing it  weak  corollary  of  milk  and  sugar 
pills.  The  national  physicians  have  declared 
that  certain  serious  convulsions  of  the  so-called 
body  politic  may  be  best  controlled  and  cured 
on  the  principle  "  similia  similibus  curantur.1' 
But  here  they  rest  their  amateur  philosophy 
and  give  us  some  encouragement,  for  their  prac- 
tice is  of  that  "  heroic "  kind  which  Rush  ap- 
proved and  Warren  tried  at  Bunker-Hill,  and 
betrays  descent  from  that  large-minded  and 
steady-handed  man,  who,  from  its  tangled  web 
of  nerve,  artery,  and  vein,  and  from  a  brother's 
neck,  in  the  very  "  city  of  fraternal  love,"  ex- 
sected  the  Parotid.* 

But  observe  how  soon  blind  man  finds  the 
limit  of  the  tether  which  restrains  his  pasture 
in  the  fragrant  field  of  science.  These  same 
custodians  of  the  public  weal,  discover  in  the 
great  infirmary  where  they  hold   their   daily

clinique*  a  subject  of  organic  and  malignant 
malady.  At  first,  they  would  evade  the  "  op- 
probrium ruedicorum"  by  ignoring  its  existence, 
but  forced  to  self  protection  by  its  stifling  pu- 
trescence, they  strive  to  exorcise  the  virus  of  in- 
curable disease  by  weary  incantations.  Baffled 
as  we  have  ever  been,  they  come  at  last,  to  own 
that  "Bright's  disease"  is  beyond  their  power 
to  cure. 

But  so  long  as  these  amateur  physicians  adopt 
our  principles  of  treatment,  and  respect  our 
boundaries  of  therapeutical  effects,  we  need 
obtrude  no  further  scrutiny  than  that  "  eternal 
vigilance,"  which,  in  our  broad  democracy,  is  at 
once  the  price  of  liberty — and  patent-rights. 
This  extension  of  the  truism  is  suggested  by  the 
inevitable  contracts,  yet  to  come,  for  adjusting 
artificial  limbs  to  "  Uncle  Samuel's"  stumps,  and 
of  the  certain  contest  between  rival  patentees, 
whose  wounds  will  surely  need  the  healing  bal- 
sam of  a  Congressional  Committee. 

But  I  am  exceeding  my  appointed  limit,  and 
am  in  danger  of  forgetting  that  while  brevity 
may  be  the  "  soul"  of  wit,  it  is  none  the  less 
the  material  virtue  of  a  medical  discourse.

specious  stratagem  of  our  Alina  Mater,  to  de- 
tain a  little  longer  her  group  of  sons,  just  cross- 
ing her  threshold  and  eager  to  be  gone.  Re- 
luctant to  let  you  go,  she  calls  an  older  son  and 
bids  him  hold  you  yet  a  moment  more,  by 
words  of  fraternal  sympathy  and  cheer.  In 
bidding  you  God-speed,  I  obtrude  no  word  of 
caution  or  advice.  Such  counsels,  except  from 
Conscript  Fathers,  whose  names  already  stand 
upon  the  rolls  of  fame,  breathe  more  of  vanity 
than  wisdom.  But  every  man,  at  forty,  has 
solved  his  early  dreams,  and  written  the  inter- 
pretation of  his  reveries.  If  every  man  would 
publish  them,  what  blushing  there  would  be  at 
so  much  naked  truth.  I  will  reveal  a  little, 
which  may  comfort  you,  as  it  now  does  me, 
after  a  dream  of  two  decades. 

You  know  it  is  related  of  Chaeles  Lamb, 
that,  when  reproved  by  his  superior  as  invari- 
ably the  last  of  all  the  clerks  to  begin  his 
morning  work,  he  replied,  with  the  modesty  of 
conscious  rectitude,  that  he  was  also  invari- 
ably the  first  to  leave  it  in  the  afternoon. 

Such  sweet  serenity  of  temper,  and  such  re- 
signation to  the  inexorable  terms  of  Adam's 
curse,  may  mitigate  our  own  participation  in 
that  common  heritage.  If  the  physician's  lot 
be  one  daily  round  of  anxiety  and  care,  he  has 


36 

at  least  the  comforting  assurance  that  it  shall 
last  his  lifetime  ;  and  though  his  fare  be  hard, 
he  shall  have  plenty  of  it.  Therefore,  he  may 
well  attune  his  mind  to  the  wise  philosophy 
of  "  the  gentle  Elia." 

Again,  I  think  it  ought  to  be  a  source  of 
comfort  to  those  impatient  souls  who  sometimes 
lose  their  way,  and  stray  into  the  tranquil 
sphere  of  medicine,  that  the  chances  for  legiti- 
mate distinction  are  not  less  in  our  pursuit 
than  in  more  ambitious  and  conspicuous  occu- 
pations. The  adage  of  the  sage  who  knew  so 
well  the  source  and  quality  of  all  human 
honor,  applies  as  well  to  doctors  as  to  states- 
men and  to  heroes ;  for  among  our  number,  as 
well  as  theirs,  "  Some  men  are  born  great, 
some  achieve  greatness,  and  some  have  great- 
ness thrust  upon  them." 

Here  are  three  chances  in  favor  of  celebrity 
to  one  against  it.  If,  then,  we  draw  the  blank 
rather  than  a  prize,  it  is  because  the  lottery 
is  renewed  for  each,  and  each  may  draw  but 
once.  Those  who  are  born  to  greatness,  as  to 
a  throne,  need  not  draw  at  all.  The  crown 
awaits  them,  and  they  must  wear  it,  if  they 
live  out  the  appointed  time  of  man.  Like  an 
ancient  people,  commanded  by  the  prophet  to 
abide  their  time  in  peace,  "  their  strength  is 


37 

to  sit  still."  Such,  were  those  worthies  whose 
names  are  household  words  in  the  halls  of 
Medicine,  and  whose  fame  "  the  world  will 
not  willingly  let  die." 

The  larger  number  who  achieve  their  great- 
ness present  a  more  attractive  class  for  study, 
as  they  offer  scope  for  imitation.  But  here 
obtrudes  the  question :  "What  is  greatness,  in 
medical  interpretation  ?  The  honors  of  the 
brotherhood,  large  wealth,  wide  usefulness, 
or  that  deceitful  notoriety  which  attracts  the 
simple  and  the  wavering? 

Gratiano  has  this  greatness,  and  it  fills 
his  coffers ;  but  who  envies  Gratiano  ? 

Greatness  does  not  necessarily  follow  that 
boasted  talisman^  a  collegiate  education.  If 
John  Hunter  began  his  adult  life  as  a  car- 
penter's apprentice,  he  closed  it  as  medical 
inspector-general  of  all  the  forces  of  the  realm, 
and  as  surgeon  to  his  king.  Adaptation  to 
his  calling,  and  steadfastness  of  purpose,  ac- 
complished both. 

Greatness  may  hang  upon  an  aphorism,  and 
Mr.  Abeekethy's  popular  celebrity  unquestion- 
ably arose  from  the  dexterous  use  he  made 
of  the  ancient  Arab  proverb,  which  says  : 
"  Gluttonous  people  dig  their  own  graves  with 
their   teeth."     But  only  a  great  genius  could 


38 

so  paraphrase  a  proverb  that  the  world  could 
not  hear  it  too  often,  nor  pay  for  it  too 
liberally. 

I  knew  a  physician  who  founded  his  claim 
for  professional  distinction  on  his  having  lost 
more  patients  from  cholera  than  any  three 
of  his  brethren  beside.  It  is  true  he  was  a 
sojourner  with  me  at  Bloomingdale,  but  I  had 
no  reason  to  distrust  his  memory  or  veracity. 
A  very  natural  reflection  on  his  expertism  in 
homicidal  mania  suggests  itself  in  Mr.  Camp- 
bell's line : 

11  What  millions  died  that  Caesar  might  be  great." 

But  while  such  a  phrase  may  be  apj)lied  ap- 
propriately  enough,  perhaps,  to  those  whom 
his  Grace,  the  Archbishop,  at  the  Bellevue 
festival,  designated  with  such  felicity  as  "  the 
great  killers"  of  their  race,  it  seems  indecor- 
ous to  apply  it  to  those,  our  brethren,  whom 
the  distinguished  prelate  honored  as  "  the 
great  curers"  of  mankind. 

Who  can  doubt  that  physicians  may  have 
greatness  thrust  upon  them,  when  we  reflect 
that  greatness,  as  the  world  esteems  it,  may 
be  imputed  quite  apart  from  merit. 

Dr.  Denman  received  that  high  tribute  of 
esteem  from  the  profession  due  to  his  industry 


39 

and  talents ;  but  a  people  who  honored  titled 
rank,  and  its  reflected  glory,  esteemed  him 
chiefly  famous  as  the  father  of  a  Lord  Chief- 
Justice. 

The  erroneously  supposed  inventor  of  the 
guillotine  was  an  eminent  physician,  the  found- 
er of  the  French  Academy  of  Medicine,  and  a 
moderate  member  of  the  National  Republican 
Assembly.  Shocked  at  the  cruel  tortures  prac- 
tised on  the  victims  of  popular  ferocity,  he 
proposed  decapitation,  as  a  death  more  prompt 
and  merciful,  commending  for  the  purpose  an 
instrument  already  known  and  used  in  other 
countries.  His  counsels  were  adopted,  but  to 
his  infinite  disgust  and  grief,  immortality  was 
given  to  his  name  by  association  with  the 
fatal  blade,  which  shed  the  blood  of  scores  of 
his  inoffensive  countrymen.  The  greatness  of 
this  infamy  would  seem  enough  for  one  to 
bear ;  but  being  afterward  imprisoned  for  re- 
sistance to  the  excesses  of  the  times,  he  es- 
caped, almost  miraculously,  that  death  of  vio- 
lence which  many  yet  believe  befell  him. 

A  sigh  of  sympathy  may  well  escape  us, 
when  we  reflect  how  oppressive  to  the  brow 
of  an  unambitious  man  must  be  a  wreath  he 
has  no  wish  to  wear;  for  then  the  bays  are 
turned  to  rushes,  which  have  the  briny  odor 


40 

of  "  Salt  river."  Such  were  my  own  reflec- 
tions when  recently  congratulated  as  the  phi- 
lanthropic author  and  proprietor  of  "Doctor 
Brown's  celebrated  patent  baby-tender." 

The  fundamental  principle  of  the  Brunonian 
system  of  baby-tending  is  quite  unknown  to 
me,  and  I  cannot  claim  as  mine  this  uni- 
versal panacea  for  all  the  woes  of  babyhood. 

I  understand  it  to  apply  the  therapeutic 
properties  of  perpetual  motion,  by  mechanism, 
to  soothe  the  incessant  restlessness  of  infancy. 
Hence  I  suppose  the  invention  due  to  some 
choreic  genius  of  the  u  Swedish  movement 
cure." 

This  need  of  self-humiliation,  by  disclaiming 
such  high  honors,  induces  the  envy  of  those 
luckier  brethren  who  attach  their  names  to 
novelties  of  implement  or  doctrine,  discovered, 
like  the  astronomical  professor's  stove,  in  some 
old  doctor's  surgery,  or  invented,  like  his  comet, 
by  a  bold  and  ingenious  fancy.  It  is  true 
that  our  rich  science  lies  before  us  like  a 
fruitful  Christmas  pudding  upon  some  "free- 
lunch"  trencher.  All  may  cut  and  feast  accord- 
ing to  the  measure  of  their  dexterity.  But 
there  is  no  good  reason  why  every  bold  Jack 
Horner  of  us  who  "puts  in  his  thumb,  and 


41 

pulls  out  a  plum,"  should  proclaim  himself  a 
"  prestidigitator." 

But  there  is  a  greatness  which  we  all  may 
crave,  though  it  comes  not  by  "sitting  still," 
nor  through  ambition,  nor  yet  upon  the 
plaudits  of  a  noisy  crowd.  There  is  one 
among  us  here  to-night  who  wears  this  great- 
ness in  his  heart.  Long  has  he  led  our  Alma 
Mater's  sons  along  those  pleasant  lanes,  where 
Flora  strews  her  bitter-sweets  for  Hygeia's 
healing  cup  ;*  and  while  many  a  frosting  brow 
retains  the  memory  of  his  wise  and  friendly 
counsels,  he  seems,  in  the  enduring  freshness 
of  his  modesty,  the  very  winter-green  of  men. 
His  is  a  lot  we  all  may  envy,  for  the  respect 
and  love  of  countless  hearts  must  close  his  ear 
to  all  the  blandishments  of  fame,  while  there 
fall  into  his  bosom,  as  it  were  from  heaven, 
such  thoughts  and  memories  of  goodly  acts 
and  ties,  as  are  a  full  reward  and  joy  for  all 
his  sacrifice  of  self. 

There  remains  but  one  other  tribute  which 
we  may  add  to  the  physician's  record  of  a  well- 
spent  life  —  the  crowning  glory  of  a  Christian 
grace.  This  men  accord  to  that  brother  and 
member  of  our  council  around  whose  bier  we

COLLEGE  OF  PHYSICIANS  AND  SURGEONS 


IN  THE  CITY  OF  NEW  YORK, 


By  an  Act  of  the  Legislature,  March  24,  1*791,  the  Regents  of  the  University 
of  the  State  of  New  York,  were  authorized  to  estahlish  a  College  of  Physicians 
and  Surgeons  in  the  State;  and  on  the  12th  of  March,  1807,  they,  by  Charter, 
created  the  "  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  in  the  City  of  New  York." 

The  first  Course  of  Lectures  began  on  the  7th  of  November,  1807,  and  con- 
tinued four  months.  Regular  courses  were  delivered  during  the  next  two  en- 
suing winters  ;  but  the  first  Commencement  was  held  in  March,  1811.

Committee. 
Gentlemen  :    Accept  my  thanks  for  the  courtesy  shown  me  by  the  Class 
which  you  represent ;  and  in  placing  my  Valedictory  Charge  at  your  disposal 
I  beg  to  add  my  earnest  wishes  for  your  happiness  and  welfare. 

Very  respectfully  yours, 

ELLERSLIE  WALLACE. 


CH  AKGE. 


When  first  we  came  together,  gentlemen,  now  near  half  a 
year  ago,  we  were  in  the  midst  of  "the  melancholy  days,  the 
saddest  of  the  year ;"  the  foliage  showed  the  changing  season, 
by  varying  hues  of  red  and  yellow,  "the  hectic  flushes  of  dis- 
ease, the  jaundice  that  foretokens  death."     Then 

"  Autumn  sighed, 
And  all  the  withered  world  looked  drearily." 

A  little  time  passed  on,  and  the  trees  had  bared  their  arms, 
the  better  to  grapple  with  the  "storm-blast,  tyrannous  and 
strong."     Then  winter  closed  around  us,  with  his 

"Keener  tempests ; 
From  all  the  livid  East,  or  piercing  North, 
Thick  clouds  ascending; 
Giving  the  fields  and  trees  so  old 
Their  beards  of  icicles  and  snow." 

And  so,  through  the  short,  and  dark,  and  often  dreary  days, 
we  have  passed  on  together,  until,  now,  spring  has  opened 
upon  us,  stimulating  all  things  around  us  to  a  renewed  activity, 
and  bearing  in  her  hand  bright  hope  and  cheerful  promise ; 

"And  Time  throws  off  his  cloak  again 
Of  ermined  frost,  and  cold,  and  rain, 
And  clothes  him  in  the  embroidery 
Of  glittering  sun,  and  clear  blue  sky." 

Gentlemen,  the  spring-time  of  manly  life — of  active,  earnest, 
self-dependent  life;  of  life  brightened  by  the  glittering  sun, 


6 

and  cheered  by  the  clear  blue  sky,  of  hope  and  promise,  opens 
upon  you  to-day.  And  the  good  old  custom,  at  whose  bidding 
I  address  you  this  morning,  is  one  which  is  to  be  respected, 
not  only  for  ancient  usage,  but  for  its  own  intrinsic  propriety. 
For  it  is  most  fitting,  that  we  who  have  tried  the  life  that  you 
must  live,  should  speak  to  you  a  little  word  of  welcome,  as  you 
step  in  among  us ;  a  word  of  encouragement  also,  as  we  receive 
your  reinforcements  within  our  ranks,  and  if  we  should  drop 
an  advising  hint  to  you,  as  you  fall  in  with  us  to-day,  surely 
you  will,  as  younger  brothers  from  their  seniors,  accept  the 
same  in  kindness. 

Especially  is  it  meet  and  right  that  those  under  whose 
auspices,  and  that  those  by  whose  daily  care  and  continued 
efforts,  you  have  been  assisted  and  guided  to  the  goal  which 
you  now  have  won,  should  be  the  first,  of  all  the  world,  to  greet 
you  in  your  new  position. 

And  so,  in  the  name  of  the  Trustees  of  the  Jefferson  Medical 
College,  I  do  most  earnestly  congratulate  you  on  the  honors 
which  you  have  this  clay  accomplished,  and,  on  the  part  of  my 
colleagues  of  the  faculty,  as  for  myself,  and  in  behalf  of  our 
profession  at  large,  I  would  add  to  congratulation  a  warm  and 
cheerful  welcome  into  that  corps,  whose  mission  it  is  to  go  out 
to  battle  against  the  great  enemy  of  mankind — to  go  on  "con- 
quering and  to  conquer." 

You,  gentlemen,  will  fill  our  places  when  we  are  relieved 
from  duty;  and  let  it  not  be  a  vain  or  misplaced  hope  that  we 
indulge,  when  we  look  confidently  forward  to  improvements 
which  you  shall  make  in  the  art  and  science  of  our  warfare — 
to  the  honor  of  our  calling,  to  the  pride  of  your  country,  to 
your  own  undying  fame,  and  to  the  best  interests  of  humanity. 

I  said  that  an  active  life  opened  on  you  to-day.  Some  men 
lead  lives  of  mental  inactivity,  though  their  physical  powers 
may  be  under  the  fullest  exercise;  and  others  have  their  intel- 
lectual capacities  called  into  play  in  their  daily  avocations, 
while  their  bodies  rest  at  sluggish  ease  upon  the  cushioned 


chair.  The  great  majority  can  enjoy  the  seasons  of  "glad 
meetings  round  the  joyous  hearth,"  and,  undisturbed  at  night, 
"the  dreams  of  sleep."  The  common  laborers  in  our  cities 
cease  their  toil,  under  the  burning  heat  of  a  July  noonday  sun, 
and  the  poor  settlers  of  our  forests,  and  of  our  prairies,  will 
smoke  their  pipes,  in  quiet  peace,  beside  the  cheerful  fire  within 
their  cabins,  during  the  fierce  and  driving  tempests  of  the 
"hurtful  days"  of  January.  On  Sundays  the  world  at  large 
may  bow  the  knee  and  bend  the  spirit  in  the  house  of  prayer; 
and  on  Christmas  and  thanksgiving  days,  and  on  all  other 
holidays,  the  world  may  all  go  pleasuring.  But  it  is  not  so  to 
be  with  you.  By  day  and  night ;  in  face  of  winter  storm,  and 
under  heat  of  summer  sun ;  on  the  holy  day,  when  others  do 
no  manner  of  work,  and  on  those  occasions  when  custom  or 
executive  power  proclaim  rest  from  labor,  you  must  be  "in- 
stant," aye,  though  it  be  "out  of  season."  Instant  and  active 
must  you  be,  in  mind  and  body  both ;  no  tardy,  dilatory  move- 
ment now,  when  he  that  is  sick,  and  ready  to  perish,  cries  to 
you  in  his  extremity;  remember — 

"  Leaves  have  their  time  to  fall, 
And  flowers  to  wither  at  the  north  wind's  breath, 
And  stars  to  set ;  but  all, 
Thou  hast  all  seasons  for  thine  own,  0  Death!" 

And,  as  the  destroyer  has  all  seasons  for  his  own,  so  must  you, 
who  are  chosen — you,  who  have  this  day  received  your  com- 
mission to  lead  our  forces  against  him,  have  all  seasons  for 
your  own,  to  go  out  to  meet  him  in  the  way. 

I  further  said  that  your  life  must  be  earnest;  no  heedless 
listening  to  the  plaint  of  pain  and  of  infirmity;  no  careless 
passing  by  the  simplest  symptom  of  disease ;  no  hurried  leap- 
ing to  a  conclusion  of  a  condition ;  no  empirical  or  stereotyped 
treatment  of  a  malady.  Think  you !  will  a  man  be  justified  if, 
under  any  pressure  of  time  or  circumstance,  he  order  a  mere 
placebo  for  a  fever,  for  a  pleurisy,  or  for  a  mangled  limb  ?  In 
serious  and  in  patient  thoughtfulness  you  must  seat  yourselves 


8 

beside  the  sick  bed ;  investigate  your  cases  all  at  length ;  study- 
closely  every  morbid  sign,  and  having  first  perceived,  and 
then  duly  appreciated  every  symptom,  reason  back  from  these 
expressions  of  disease,  to  ascertain  existing  lesion ;  sit  in  judg- 
ment at  every  visit  upon  your  preconceived  opinions ;  test  the 
accuracy  of  your  diagnosis  of  yesterday,  by  renewed  explora- 
tion to-day;  and  thus,  judging  philosophically,  you  will  act,  so 
far  as  lies  within  human  power,  correctly.  You  must  be 
earnest,  not  in  clinical  observation  only,  but  in  faithful  study 
of  the  works,  which  good  and  able  members  of  our  profession 
have  executed  for  your  improvement. 

Every  member  of  our  calling  should  spend  some  time  of 
every  day  in  seeking  for  the  treasures  to  be  found  in  our  medi- 
cal literature,  even  though  he  rob  his  body  of  its  natural  rest, 
thus  to  improve  his  knowledge.     But,  in  your  study,  do  not 
take  for  granted  truth,  everything  that  every  man  may  put 
down  in  print;  judge  a  most  careful  judgment  of  all  that  you 
may  read ;  as  I  mentioned  that  you  should  be  self-dependent, 
even  here  you  should  so  be;  weighing  with  unbiased  mind,  all 
that  may  be  propounded  for  your  consideration;  yes,  and  all 
that  has  been  laid  before  you  as  instruction,  will  legitimately 
fall  under  your  censorship,    as  experience  shall  improve  your 
perception  and  as  observation  shall  mature  your  judgment. 
Bear  in  mind  the  old  maxim  "JSTullius  in  verba  magistri  ju- 
rare."     Let  not  the  name  or  standing  of  teacher  or  of  writer 
blind  the  eyes  of  your  judgment,  be  the  name  of  great  or  little 
note,  and  be  the  standing  what  it    may.     For  "  humanum  est 
errare,"  and  great  men  are  but  human,  and  some  most  curious 
blunders  have  had  a  very  exalted  parentage ;  and  remember 
that  younger  heads  have   sometimes    discovered  and  accom- 
plished that  which  was  too  deeply  hidden,  or  too  difficult  for  the 
"  frosty  brow"  to  bring  to  light  or  to  master.     Therefore,  while 
wc  may  not  consent  "cum  Galcno  errare,"  we  must  be  equally 
cautious  never  to  pass  by,  in  slight,  the  opinions  or  suggestions 
of  those  who  are,  in  years  or  in  professional  position,  our  juniors. 


9 

Being  well  informed,  you  can  readily  afford  to  be  self-depen- 
dent. And  so,  imitate  no  man,  lest  you  fail  and  blunder  as  the 
Celestials  did,  who — as  a  distinguished  traveller  and  writer  tells 
us — "built  a  steam  ship,  not  many  years  ago,  using  a  British  ves- 
sel as  their  model.  In  every  detail  of  hull,  of  engine  and  of  rig- 
ging, as  in  every  point  of  ornamental  finish,  the  observer  could 
detect  no  difference  whatever;  yet  there  was  a  difference;  for 
when  they  came  to  try  the  two  creations  side  by  side  upon  the 
water,  the  British  ship  would  go,  while  the  Chinese  copy 
remained  "as  idle  as  a  painted  ship  upon  a  painted  ocean." 

Gentlemen,  I  alluded  to  the  fact  that  the  profession  looks  to 
you  for  improvement  in  our  Art  and  Science.  Consider ;  the 
knowledge  which  graces  your  minds  to-day,  has  not  been  ac- 
quired by  your  own  unassisted  selves:  "Other  men  have 
labored  and  you  have  entered  upon  their  labors;"  "freely  have 
you  received  "  of  the  treasures  which  have  been  garnered  by 
the  able  and  the  wise  who  have  lived  before  you  or  who  yet 
remain;  bright  examples  for  you  to  emulate.  The  mental 
wealth  that  has  come  down  to  you,  from  them,  is  an  entailed 
estate,  and  it  may  not  stop  with  you ;  you  may  not  impoverish 
or  destroy  it ;  it  is  your  privilege  to  use  it,  to  enjoy  it,  but  it  is 
your  duty  to  improve  it,  for  the  sake  of  those  who  shall  come 
after  you,  as  the  only  acknowledgment,  the  only  recompense 
that  you  can  make  to  those  whom  you  succeed. 

The  medical  journals  of  the  day  afford  you  a  ready  and 
convenient  repository  for  fragmentary  contributions  by  which 
you  may  add  to  professional  literature ;  and  by  careful  obser- 
vation, and  equally  accurate  record  of  curious  and  singular 
disorders,  with  all  their  manifestations  and  their  consequences, 
you  can  do  a  fair  share  of  the  work  of  advancing  Medical 
Science.  Years,  which  bring  wisdom  and  experience,  will,  we 
trust,  enable  some  of  you,  at  least,  to  increase  our  libraries  by 
more  voluminous  productions. 

If  we  raise  our  eyes  and  look  around  us,  we  cannot  fail  to 
see  that  all  the  world  is  in  rapid  pace  beside  us.     Other  arts 


10 

and  sciences  are  being  hurried  on  with  speed  of  steam  or  light- 
ning, and  may  a  votary  of  our  calling,  of  one  which  is  second  to 
none  in  importance  to  the  human  family,  be  a  laggard  in  the 
race  ?  He  had  better  take  a  nap  of  twenty  years  with  Kip  Yan 
Winkle  on  the  Hudson  hills,  and  wake  to  find  himself  a  laugh- 
ing-stock, than,  living  on  in  wakeful  idleness,  grow  into  con- 
tempt. 

To  give  you  the  idea  of  another,  we  may  not  leave  to  insti- 
tutions of  learning  the  task  of  advancing  any  department  of 
human  knowledge ;  such  is  not  the  purpose  for  which  they  are 
created.  They  are  rather  to  be  considered  as  exponents  of  the 
past,  for  they  teach  that  which  is  already  known — they  do  not 
investigate  regions  unexplored.  The  advancement  of  arts  and 
sciences  thus  far  has  been,  as  it  ever  will  continue  to  be,  due 
to  individual  exertion  almost  exclusively,  not  only  unassisted 
by  learned  bodies,  but  sometimes  even  opposed  by  them. 

You  will  sometimes  hear  the  charges  of  vacillation  and  un- 
certainty laid  against  the  profession  of  medicine,  on  the  ground 
that  our  opinions  of  disease  and  modes  of  treatment  are,  from 
time  to  time,  undergoing  alteration ;  and  because  we  do  not 
believe  all  that  our  forefathers  held  to,  and  because  our  action 
now  is  not  identical  with  that  of  years  gone  by,  it  is  sometimes 
charged  that  medicine  has  no  fixed  laws,  and  that  our  reason- 
ing is  but  hypothesis,  and  our  practice  no  more  than  experi- 
ment. Why,  gentlemen,  progress  necessarily  implies  change ; 
and  our  science  would  be  unworthy  of  the  name  if  it  knew  no 
advancement.  Fixed  laws  do  exist  for  its  control  and  manage- 
ment, and  it  is  no  evidence,  no  argument,  indeed,  against  their 
existence,  that  we  may  not  understand  them  all :  the  curious 
laws  of  galvanism  have  held  place  since  "  the  morning  stars 
sang  together,"  though  it  was  but  as  yesterday,  that  the  acci- 
dent of  the  metallic  plates  revealed  the  mystery  to  man.  And 
from  the  day  on  which  Adam  was  created  to  the  time  of 
Harvey,  the  blood  rolled  on  in  its  gentle,  steady,  course  through 
vein,  and  heart,  and  artery,  though  no  man  held  one  idea  of 


11 

truth  upon  the  subject :  it  was  reserved  for  one  who  lived  but 
a  little  more  than  a  hundred  years  ago  to  point  out  that  law, 
under  whose  silent  bidding  apples  had  fallen  on  men's  heads 
for  scores  of  centuries. 

The  rule  is  true  of  all  departments  of  all  sciences  that  fixed 
laws  do  govern  them ;  such  ordinances  are  of  God's  creation, 
not  of  man's  devising ;  human  power  may  discover  them  or 
may  fail  to  trace  them  out,  but  their  perfection  is  unchangeable 
and  absolute. 

If  we  compare  the  practice  of  present  times  with  that  of  by 
gone  centuries  we  shall  find  a  beauty  of  simplicity  pervading 
it,  which  philosophical  inquiry  and  enlightened  pathology  have 
drawn  out,  by  patient  care  and  studious  effort,  from  a  tangled 
mesh,  in  which  it  was  long  concealed  by  false  doctrine,  mystery, 
and  superstition.  Let  me,  for  example,  quote  from  the  writings 
of  one  who  adorned  our  profession  in  the  16th  century:  Would 
that  you  and  I  might  ever  attain  to  the  wisdom  and  the  good- 
ness of  Ambrose  Pare !  He  tells  us  that  in  his  day  it  was  uni- 
versally conceded  that  wounds  made  by  fire-arms  were  of  a 
highly  poisonous  character,  in  consequence  of  the  effect  of  the 
powder;  and  that  it  was  deemed  necessary  for  their  cure,  "that 
they  be  cauterized  with  boiling  oil,  applied  on  tents  and 
setons."  Upon  one  occasion  when  many  wounded  were  under 
his  care  his  oil  was  exhausted  before  all  had  been^dressed,  and, 
he  says,  "  I  was  obliged  to  resort  to  an  ointment  composed  of 
the  yolk  of  eggs,  oil  of  roses,  and  turpentine.  During  the 
night  I  could  not  sleep  at  my  ease,  fearing  that  in  consequence 
of  not  having  cauterized  I  should  find  the  wounded  on  whom 
I  had  failed  to  apply  the  oil  dead,  poisoned.  This  compelled 
me  to  rise  early  to  visit  them,  when,  beyond  my  hope,  I  found 
those  on  whom  I  had  put  my  digestive  ointment  feeling  but 
little  pain ;  their  wounds  without  swelling  and  inflammation, 
and  that  they  had  slept  well  during  the  night ;  while  those  on 
whom  I  had  applied  the  oil  were  feverish  and  in  great  pain, 
with  swelling."     He  then  speaks  of  a  surgeon  at  Turin  "  who 


12 

had  a  reputation,  above  all  others,  of  well  treating  wounds 
from  fire-arms,  and  I  paid  court  to  him  for  two  years  to  draw 
his  recipe  from  him,  and  finally,  after  many  gifts  and  presents, 
he  gave  it,  which  was  to  boil  earth  worms  and  puppies,  newly- 
born,  in  oil  of  lilies,  and  afterward  to  add  some  Yenice  tur- 
pentine." In  our  time  a  piece  of  lint  dipped  in  cold  water 
supersedes  the  torture  of  the  boiling  oil,  and  the  simple  cerate 
of  our  pharmacopoeia  replaces  the  disgusting  digest  of  earth 
worms  and  of  puppies. 

The  record  above  quoted  may  serve  to  teach  us  a  lesson 
which  we  may  lay  to  heart  for  our  profit,  a  lesson  of  conside- 
ration for  the  sufferings  of  the  afflicted.  Pare  "could  not 
sleep  at  his  ease,"  so  great  was  his  anxiety  for  those  committed 
to  his  care. 

Physicians,  surgeons  more  particularly,  have  sometimes  the 
reputation  of  want  of  feeling,  of  actual  hard-heartedness ;  this 
need  never  be ;  it  never  should  he ;  we  are  so  happily  constructed 
by  Infinite  "Wisdom  that  we  can,  to  great  degree,  resist  the 
impressions  excited  by  scenes  of  terror,  and  it  is  an  obligation 
resting  on  us  to  exercise  such  control  over  our  natural  impulses 
that  the  head  may  be  clear  and  the  hand  may  be  strong ;  but 
while  duty  calls  us  to  nerve  the  arm,  pity,  with  equal  voice, 
forbids  to  steel  the  heart.  We  may  sympathize  with  him 
who  suffers,  even  though  our  own  hand  cause  the  pain,  and  by 
our  sympathy  we  do  not  lose  one  jot  of  our  decision  or  of  our 
manliness ;  and  he  who  cannot  and  who  does  not  feel  for  his 
patient's  woes  is  wanting  in  one  grand  stimulus  to  exertion  in 
his  behalf. 

A  story  is  told  of  good  old  Dr.  Wistar,  which  runs  thus  : 
Being  about  to  operate  in  the  rotunda  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Hospital,  in  presence  of  the  class,  on  a  case  where  the  tissues 
were  in  a  state  of  fearful  inflammation,  he  closed  his  lecture  on 
the  subject  with  these  words :  "  Know  the  anatomy  of  the  parts 
concerned  in  your  operations;  then  cut  boldly."  lie  made  his 
incision;  his  patient  shrieked  with  agony,  and  as  Wistar  raised 


13 

his  knife  from  out  the  wound  a  tear  fell  from  his  eye  upon  its 
point,  and  washed  away  a  drop  of  blood. 

Gentlemen,  cultivate  the  kindly  feelings  of  your  nature ;  those 
gentle  graces  which  God  has  placed  within  your  hearts ;  guard 
them  in  your  intercourse  with  the  world,  that  their  lustre  be 
not  sullied  by  its  polluting  touch,  and  increase  their  brightness 
by  constant  exercise  of  thought,  and  word,  and  work  of  cha- 
rity; and  while  thus  you  act  for  others'  sake  the  blessing  shall 
not  rest  with  them  alone,  but,  sweet  as  the  echo  of  a  melody, 
shall  return  to  refine  and  purify  your  own  souls. 

"  He  prayeth  well  who  loveth  well 
Both  man,  and  "bird,  and  beast ; 
He  prayeth  best  who  loveth  best 
All  things,  both  great  and  small ; 
For  the  dear  God  who  loveth  us, 
He  made  and  loveth  all." 

I  would  now  say  somewhat  as  to  the  encouragement,  the 
incentives  which  are  offered  you.  Some  there  are  limited  by 
time ;  others  passing  on  from  that  which  now  is  to  eternity. 

Some  men  toil  for  wealth,  and  who  shall  deny  it  to  be  a 
legitimate  object  of  pursuit?  What  is  wealth?  It  is  the  "open 
sesame"  to  the  world's  treasures ;  in  addition  to  mere  physical 
luxuries,  it  can  furnish  its  possessor  with  the  choicest  gems  of 
literature,  and  the  stores  of  the  recorded  wisdom  of  all  past 
time ;  it  can  provide  him  with  the  services  and  the  society  of 
the  great,  and  the  wise,  and  the  good  ;  it  can  transport  him,  at 
his  will,  at  almost  magic  speed,  to  the  confines  of  the  earth, 
opening  before  him  fields  of  observation,  of  pleasure,  and  of 
improvement,  that  must  be  forever  closed  against  one  oppressed 
by  the  "  res  angusta  clomi."  It  gives  him  the  power  to  become 
a  benefactor  to  those  around  him,  enables  him  to  relieve  their 
wants  and  soothe  their  sorrows,  and  places  in  his  hand  the 
means  of  shedding  the  light  of  civilization  and  the  benefits  of 
Christianity  over  regions  of  the  world,  where  dark  superstition 
holds  her  sway. 


14 

Again,  some  rejoice  in  popularity,  and  labor  after  fame.  It 
is  a  kindly  social  feeling  that  leads  us  to  a  due  regard  for  the 
opinions  and  good- will  of  our  fellows,  and  it  is  the  physician's 
duty  to  let  his  whole  course  be  so  true  and  honorable,  that 
those  who  know,  must  likewise  commend  him ;  and  to  exhibit; 
at  all  times,  the  example  of  a  gentle  courtesy ;  remembering 
that,  as  a  man  of  science  and  a  scholar,  he  becomes  one  of  the 
leaders  of  society ;  he  should  so  conduct  himself  towards  all, 
as  to  bring  them  to  admire  and  love  those  graces  which  adorn 
the  gentleman.  A  physician  who  is  beloved  and  respected, 
cannot  fail  to  exalt,  in  the  eyes  of  a  community,  the  profession 
to  which  he  belongs ;  and  while  confidence  will  follow  his  steps, 
efficiency  will,  in  no  small  degree,  be  added  to  his  exertions. 
Seek  then  for  popularity  as  worthy  of  attainment,  when 
worthily  pursued. 

And  is  it  not  a  thought  which  may  warm  one's  heart  and 
add  vigor  to  his  effort,  to  feel  that  his  may  be  "  One  of  the  im- 
mortal names  not  born  to  die  ?"  that  those  of  his  blood,  whom 
his  heart  holds  dear,  shall  be  through  his  own  deeds,  ennobled  ? 
That  his  countrymen  shall  rejoice  .over  him,  and  that  all  men 
shall  honor  him  in  life,  and,  after  death,  venerate  his  memory  ? 

I  hold  that  wealth,  and  popularity,  and  fame,  and  all  good 
things  of  time,  are  so  many  desiderata,  laid  before  us  by  Him 
who  placed  us  here,  to  lead  us  on  in  the  path  of  active  use- 
fulness. 

But  yet  there  is  need  of  a  stronger  stimulus  than  all  these,  and 
one  whose  application  may  be  universal,  for  there  are  those 
who  are  so  constituted  or  so  circumstanced,  that  riches  and 
distinction  have  no  charm  for  them;  or  a  man  may  fail  in  their 
pursuit  and  so  lose  heart  by  disappointment ;  for  every  earthly 

"  path 
By  many  a  cloud  is  darkened  and  unblest, 
And,  daily,  as  we  downward  glide 
Life's  ebbing  stream,  on  either  side 
Shows,  at  each  turn,  some  mouldering  hope  or  joy  ; 
The  man  seems  following  still  the  funeral  of  the  boy." 


15 

Or  let  the  full  round  of  earthly  blessings  be  gained  by  one 
who  seeks  them,  and  while  they  will,  or  at  least  while  they 
ought  to,  add  to  the  enjoyment  of  present  life,  they  cannot,  in 
their  best  estate,  fill  the  void  and  satisfy  the  craving  of  a  spirit, 
which,  in  this  world,  is  but  in  "the  bud  of  being,  the  dim  dawn, 
the  twilight  of  its  day ;"  their  enjoyment  is  but  transitory ; 

"  The  glories  of  our  birth  and  state 
Are  shadows,  not  substantial  things  ; 
There  is  no  armor  against  fate  ; 
Death  lays  his  icy  hand  on  Kings. 

All  heads  must  come 

To  the  cold  tomb  : 
Only  the  actions  of  the  just 
Smell  sweet,  and  blossom  in  the  dust." 

One  of  the  sacred  writers  has  ranked  faithfulness  in  business 
as  a  part  of  our  religious  obligation ;  and  here  we  have  the 
truest,  and  the  best,  and  the  only  universal  incentive  to  exertion. 
It  is  one  that  holds  out  its  claim  to  every  living  man  alike,  and 
rests  its  call  upon  the  promise  of  reward  that  knows  no  limit. 
The  joys  of  time  that  throw  a  light  on  our  pathway,  may  burn 
dim  in  lapse  of  years,  or  may  fade  out  from  around  us  as  we  jour- 
ney on,  but  their  loss  should  only  serve  to  reveal,  more  brightly, 
the  dawning  beams  of  our  coming  day.  Gentlemen,  we  do  not 
pass  through  life  unassisted  or  unadvised;  there  is  a  monitor 
allowed  us,  which  men  call  conscience ;  let  no  man  resist  its 
warning  voice,  but  ever  lend  a  ready  ear  to  its  counsel ;  for  it 
is  a  messenger  from  God;  a  messenger  of  guidance  and  reproof; 
it  is  an  angel  by  the  way-side,  to  check  us  in  the  time  of  error, 
to  turn  us  back  to  the  path  of  virtue : 

"  So  when  Vice,  to  lure  her  slave, 

Woos  him  down  the  shining  track, 
Spirit-hands  are  stretched  to  save, 

Spirit  voices  warn  him  back, 
Erring  man,  to  evil  prone, 

Though  the  paths  seem  pleasant,  stay ! 
On  the  instant  pause  !     There  stands 
An  angel  in  the  way." 


16 

And  now,  gentlemen,  go  out  upon  your  mission ;  be  strong 
and  resolute  in  the  strength  which  God  has  granted  you  ;  bear 
with  you  our  earnest  wishes  for  your  social  happiness,  for  your 
professional  success,  for  your  usefulness  in  your  day,  and  after 
your  generation ;  and  so,  my  friends,  fare  you  well.
